The International Forum on Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in Education opened in Hanoi on October 29.

At the forum

The two day forum is jointly organised by the Ministry of Education and Training (MoET), the Korean Embassy in Vietnam and the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea (RoK).

The event, part of the Vietnam-RoK education and training co-operation programme, has attracted the participation of delegates from the RoK, Vietnam, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, Colombia and the Philippines.

Since 2011, the RoK has supported 11 countries in the application of ICT to boost education. The forum is expected to bring education and training managers together to discuss information and share their experience in an effort to promote the use of ICT in education and training.

Addressing the forum, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Vinh Hien spoke highly of ICT applications in education and training in the RoK over the past years.

He also expressed his wish that through the forum, delegates from the RoK and other countries would share their first-hand experience with Vietnam in deploying the project in the country.

The Deputy Minister also briefed the international guests on a number of RoK supporting projects that have recently been implemented such as the ICT-based pilot classroom Cau Giay High School in Hanoi, the Virtual University at Hanoi University of Science and Technology, and the e-learning project at Hanoi Open University.
